Function click for XP contextual menu like in OSX?

Anyway I can make XP "Control Click" work in Mac XP by using the Function key and click like in OSX?
I do not like this 2 fingers on mousepad thing..I Prefer if I can use F key and click like in OSX..Any tricks or driver I can use?

Update:
When any one of the three extensions (AdBlock, Ghostery, or Duck Duck Go) are on there is some amount of delay when right clicking in Safari.
I'm no longer seeing a lag when they are all off but extensions are on. Perhaps I was imagining that before.
All three of those extensions put lines in the contextual menu. (I don't find myself using them though. I'd be fine with being able to use the extensions with no contextual menu items.)
I really like those extensions.
Does anyone else have this issue? Anyone fix it (besides turning off extensions)?

Hi all,
I have requirement like drop down is created for field1 in GRID,

Problem w/"combo boxes" cause the user to double click for the dropdown menu, but not for everyone.

I have created a form with Adobe Acrobad Pro 9.
There are a few "drop-down" boxes for people to choose options from. I created them with the "Combo box" option. They work perfectly fine on my laptop (Lenovo T500 windows 7, with all updates up to date.) I sent the file to another exact same computer and that's when the problem came up. When you click on the drop-down, the list will quickly appear and then disappear. Then if you click it again it will stay open so you can choose your option. However this only happens on "some" computers but not everyone's. I emailed the exact same form out to other people in my office and they do not have any problems with the form. There is no need to double click the drop down, it will just open up properly for them.
Has anyone come across this? And if so, is there maybe a setting on these specific laptops that is preventing the "combo box" to not work properly? I need to use this specific laptop as a "Kiosk" like a "check out" station for users to fill out the form to check out equipment. I will be running in Reader so people can not make changes to the form. (both the Acrobat Pro 9 version and the (most up to date) Reader version of the PDF form does the same "double-click" problem) I need a date drop down and an equipment type drop down.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks !

I've got this kind of problem with a form of mine (designed with LCD) :
- combo boxes with font-color changing event handlers on :enter
- on Acrobat 9 Pro : no problem
- on Reader 8.3 :
- first click seems to execute the event handler but stops the combo's opening
- second click does open the combo
Do you have event handlers on combo:enter ?
Could the difference between comps where it works and comps where it doesn't be Acrobat's version ?

Contextual menu items remain after Bitcasa removal - why?

Hello there.
I'm looking for a solution of Bitcasa context menu items that won't go away. After removing the app they still appear in the Finder context menus. I already searched the usual places like Keyboard Shortcuts, Services, etc. but couldn't find any entry that explains why it is still there.
Anyone got an idea why I can't remove it?

Okay. You got me on the wrong foot there. Sorry for being touchy.
I contacted the Bitcasa support and did everything they wrote on their support pages and more. I even got terminal commands from them to remove everything Bitcasa manually:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Bitcasa.app
rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/com.bitcasa.*
rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/com.Bitcasa.*
rm -f /Users/*/Library/Preferences/com.bitcasa.*
rm -f /Users/*/Library/Preferences/com.Bitcasa.*
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.bitcasa.*
rm -r ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.bitcasa.Bitcasa.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.bitcasa.*
The problem seems to be that I actually removed everything identifiable as part of Bitcasa code. And that's the only reason I cant't get rid of this darn menu. I'm not a programmer but I usually know my way around when it comes to apps. What puzzles me is the fact that there seems to no source for this contextual menu item.
Is that even possible?

Contextual menu to open a URL

Hello all,
I've poked around and done a bunch of searching, and have some bits and pieces but no cohesive idea on how to accomplish what I want. I'm thinking it should be simple: highlight text somewhere, right-click to open contextual menu, select item that will open the selected text as a URL.
I've come across suggestions to use Automator to create the CM plugin, which seems to make sense. I tried cobbling together something, but the input doesn't seems to work in the default script of
on run {input, parameters}
(* Your script goes here *)
return input
end run
I've tried different combinations of 'open input' and 'open input with Firefox' and such, but nothing seems to happen aside from opening another window in Automator.
Should I be using 'activate' instead? Am I missing something entirely?
Can anyone point me in the right direction to build what I'm looking to do?
Maybe this already exists somewhere (I looked!) and I just haven't found it?
Thanks for any helpful advice,
Markie

Markie,
As one option, you might consider using a browser which supports the Services Menu -- one such as Camino, Safari 3.0.3, Shiira 1.2.2 or Opera 9.2.2. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, Firefox doesn't seem to provide much support for the Services Menu at this time.
To use the Services Menu you would simply highlight the text, select Open Url from the Services menu, and the url should open in your default browser (assuming the highlighted text would yield a valid domain, of course). Opera actually makes things easier for you by providing a Go to Url command in its own contextual menu.
If you're looking for a contextual menu plugin, there may an easier solution for you than anything you could come up with using Automator or AppleScript (I tried; came up empty). You might check out OnMyCommand, a freeware application. After reading the ReadMe and installing the necessary components, open the OMCEdit app, and from its toolbar choose Download Commands.You might not have any use for many of the available commands; you don't need to install them all. But the one in particular that you're interested in is "Open Selected Text as URL." Locate it, highlight it, and then press the Append to Commands button. Voilá. You should now find Open Selected Text as URL among your contextual menu items available in most of your apps (not Firefox, though).
Good luck!

Blocks in standalone applications which can be double clicked for changing parameters

Can we have blocks in standalone applications which can be double clicked for changing parameters.
something like an options/configure button which opens another window and helps us to change tha parameters of that particular
block.

Well, you will need to program your application that way. Maybe I am not understanding this correctly but what parameters do you want to change in your standalone application?

Contextual Menu failed to Launch Quark

I have a G4 Silver and I booted up in system 10.3. I opened Classic and then tried to Open Quark and I got an error that read "Failed to Launch Quark Contextual Menu failed" so I can't start up my Quark 5.0. I tried to reload the program that didn't work. Is there something I can do, so I can start my program? Do I have to delete a contextual menu or preferences? PLEASE HELP!!!
G4 Silver Mac OS X (10.3.1)

Hi bda,
I had that problem many years ago ... I found this info for you. I believe it is based on the Classic System Xtensions...
'Turn off all the (Classic)xtensions except the following :
(a) Contextual Menu extension (b) Open transport extension (c) Shared libraryManager PPC (d) Open Transport ASLM Module (e) Appletalk extension
Keep these xtensions on while starting classic and you should not get the error messag for the contextual menu.'
If this doesn't work I believe it may be a Quark Xtension error itself. Start upo Quark with Xtensions off (hold space bar while starting Quark), then deactive the Xtensions until it boots up properly. Don't forget to reactivate the other ones!

New features for next CC update: open apps, contextual menus, option-click for more info...

I'd like to see the CC app gain a few features that would enable a more efficient workflow right from the app:
1. Ability to open apps from the menu bar. I know we can stuff 'em in our Docks and open them in Spotlight, but being able to interact with our apps would be great. Perhaps each app could have its own gear/triangle, or each icon could be interactive; this would open a contextual menu from which we can open, delete, update, get help, maybe open recent docs....
2. Option-clicking an app icon could pop up more info (e.g., version, last used, etc)
3. Allow us to sort apps either manually or by automatic criteria (recently used, most used, recently updated, etc)

Contextual Menu Layer Selection for CS4 and 5.x

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to get contextual menu layer selection functioning better in Photoshop.
Right clicking on a layer provides a menu but does not necessarily select the top layer automatically. If the layer is grouped, it will generally show the top most group, and indent layers within. Alt-right click selects the top-most layer, but does not provide the contextual menu.
The behavior I'm looking for is right click, brings up a menu with the top most LAYER (not group) selected.
I see this topic was already covered (and fixed by Adobe) for the Mac version here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/632446?start=0&tstart=0
Am I missing something on the Windows version? Is there an option somewhere to change the behavior?
Thanks.

Attached is a picture of the behavior in Windows. Right clicking on empty space (with the exception of a plain white background) does not highlight background. It highlights Group 1, despite Group 1 not containing any information for where I have selected. So when selecting layers in a huge working file with dozens of groups, finding the top most layer gets to be a painful experience.
In Windows, I can control-click a layer to get to the top-most layer without any contextual menu, however the menu behavior on the Mac offers some benefits - you can just go up one menu item to find the layers group.
Here's the same example from above:
Another example:
The Mac behavior seems much much more valuable I would think. However, I'm guessing there is no way to get the Windows version to do this.

No Magic Trackpad taps, clicks, or combination will get me the contextual menu since I upgraded to Lion. I want to kill it.

In Snow Leopard, the magic trackpad was a thing of beauty. tap to click, swipe with three fingers to navigate, two finger tap for contextual menu. Horizontal scrolling just an evil threat, easily opted out of.
Now that I've upgraded, well, three fingers will still navigate me around Safari. And I was able to correct the truly disorienting "natural scrolling" and get the words moving back the right way again. But no matter what I do, or what I select in Preferences, I have no more right-click equivalent. I've tried deselecting and reselecting, changing the number of fingers, choosing a bottom corner click option... still no contextual menu. Instead, I get the dashboard widgets. 2 finger tap: dashboard widgets. bottom right, or left, click: dashboard widgets.
I've tried a fix some folks have posted that involves adding a line in Terminal (defaults -currentHost write -g com.apple.trackpuad.enableSecondaryClick -bool YES) and then logging out and in. Many have had success with that. I have not.
As far as I can tell, I have now far fewer options and less flexibility with the trackpad in Lion than I did in Snow Leopard. More animation to tell me about them, but less functionality. That said, I'm guessing there's a bug here. Can anyone help me fix this thing? Bonus extra points if someone can tell me how to un-choose horizontal scrolling!

So, Darrall, it seems to be fixed. Mind you, this has happened through a seemingly unrelated, but hopefully replicable sequence of events. You be the judge.
I went to my other login account, which as it happens is also an admin account. Voila, the secondary click worked fine. So I returned to my primary account, where I did the following:
First, I unpaired the trackpad. then I remembered I needed something to move the mouse with, so I re-paired the magic mouse I'd had before. I thought I'd turned off the trackpad, but apparently not, so the computer re-paired it automatically. None of this had any immediate effect, as you'd imagine.
Then I went to Mission Control in Preferences. There, I deselected "Show dashboard as a space", and in the hotcorners, I deselected Mission Control from the bottom left, where it had been. I didn't replace it.
Now, my secondary click works. Uh huh. I was suspicious that it might have more to do with Mission Control and/or Dashboard than the trackpad, only because I'd beaten that horse till my arm hurt and this was all I could think of.
Never did I imagine this would get fixed short of creating a new login account and somehow copying everything - since I didn't know what was wrong, I could easily have copied the error too - so I'm very pleased and relieved. If you haven't fixed yours yet, try this. Let me know what happens!

Setting default browser for Mail's contextual menu items

I use Firefox as my default browser. In "Safari>General>Default Web Browser" I have it set to Firefox and URL links within Mail trigger Firefox as expected.
However, if I right-click within an email message on some text and select 'Search in Google' it opens in Safari regardless of the default browser indicated in the Safari preferences.
Anybody know how to fix this? It's very annoying.
Dual 2.0 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello,
I have been searching for the cause of this failure, but have not found much. It may relate to some problems with Contextual Menu Items, discussed within the article at the link below, but I do not know for sure:
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/05/28/cm_pt1.html
and may relate to some incompleteness in Firefox, rather than OSX, per se. The contextual menu items are separate from the default preferences, I believe.
Btw, while I like some aspects of a Google search with Firefox, the fact that PDF links are downloaded, rather than opened in the browser, make me prefer Safari for searches. Perhaps there is a preference to cure this problem, but I have not looked very hard for it.

Menu on right-click for numeric control

Hello,
is there a way to program a "menu on right-click" for a control (e.g. numeric), like there is for table controls?
I'm working with CVI 8.0.1
Thanks & Best Regards,
Greg

Yes, every control can be added a popup menu with a few instructions.
Design the menu nar in the UIR editor; do not associate it to any panel
Load the menu bar when needed with the line menuHandle = LoadMenuBar (0, "myfile.uir", menuBar): by passing 0 as the panel handle it will not be associated to any of them
In the numeric callback add these instructions:
     switch (event) {
        case EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK:
            // Context menu
           choice = RunPopupMenu (menuHandle, menuBar_Menu, panel, eventData1, eventData2, 0, 0, 0, 0);
            switch (choice) {
   case menuBar_menu_item1:
// menu item handling code
break;
break;
Passing eventData parameters to RunPopupMenu function ensures that the menu is displayed at the mouse position.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Is there: contextual menu for download into Aperture?

In Safari, I can do a right-click and one of my options is 'download to iPhoto'.
Now that I've switched to Aperture, I'd love to download directly into that application.
I've scoured the web, all Aperture-related sites, and I find nothing at all.
Any ideas on how to accomplish or create this?
Thanks in advance.

I do see that my Automator created Service (Add Image to Aperture) would be in the Services sub-menu of the contextual menu, or at least should be. However, something else is going on her that I'm obviously misssing.
Even though I have "Service receives selected [IMAGE FILE] in [Any Application]" selected at the top of the workflow window....
when I right click on an image in Safari the services sub-menu is not present......
Furthermore, when I right click on an existing image file in Finder..........
The service I have created (Add Image to Aperture) is available but only directly from the contextual menu and NOT contained within a Services sub-menu (there isn't one there). Not that I really care exactly where my (Add Image to Aperture) Service is located, I just want it to work.
Thanks for all your efforts here! I'm sure I'm making this WAY more complex than it needs to be, I'm just not seeing something with this.
Additional thought: Is it possible that who ever created the website is preventing "right-click save image" functionality which is throwing another variable into the mix? Although, I've tried in on lots of different websites and that doesn't seem to be the case.
